man kubectl get (1): Display one or many resources

SYNOPSIS

kubectl get [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

Display one or many resources.

Possible resource types include (case insensitive): pods (po), services (svc), deployments, replicasets (rs), replicationcontrollers (rc), nodes (no), events (ev), limitranges (limits), persistentvolumes (pv), persistentvolumeclaims (pvc), resourcequotas (quota), namespaces (ns), serviceaccounts, ingresses (ing), horizontalpodautoscalers (hpa), daemonsets (ds), configmaps, componentstatuses (cs), endpoints (ep), and secrets.

By specifying the output as 'template' and providing a Go template as the value of the --template flag, you can filter the attributes of the fetched resource(s).

OPTIONS

--all-namespaces=false
If present, list the requested object(s) across all namespaces. Namespace in current context is ignored even if specified with --namespace.

--export=false
If true, use 'export' for the resources. Exported resources are stripped of cluster-specific information.

-f, --filename=[]
Filename, directory, or URL to a file identifying the resource to get from a server.

-L, --label-columns=[]
Accepts a comma separated list of labels that are going to be presented as columns. Names are case-sensitive. You can also use multiple flag statements like -L label1 -L label2...

--no-headers=false
When using the default output, don't print headers.

--output-version=""
Output the formatted object with the given group version (for ex: 'extensions/v1beta1').

-l, --selector=""
Selector (label query) to filter on

-a, --show-all=false
When printing, show all resources (default hide terminated pods.)

--show-labels=false
When printing, show all labels as the last column (default hide labels column)

--sort-by=""
If non-empty, sort list types using this field specification. The field specification is expressed as a JSONPath expression (e.g. '{.metadata.name}'). The field in the API resource specified by this JSONPath expression must be an integer or a string.

--template=""
Template string or path to template file to use when -o=go-template, -o=go-template-file. The template format is golang templates [ <http://golang.org/pkg/text/template/#pkg-overview>].

-w, --watch=false
After listing/getting the requested object, watch for changes.

--watch-only=false
Watch for changes to the requested object(s), without listing/getting first.

OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS

--alsologtostderr=false
log to standard error as well as files

--api-version=""
DEPRECATED: The API version to use when talking to the server

--certificate-authority=""
Path to a cert. file for the certificate authority.

--client-certificate=""

--client-key=""
Path to a client key file for TLS.

--cluster=""
The name of the kubeconfig cluster to use

--context=""
The name of the kubeconfig context to use

--insecure-skip-tls-verify=false
If true, the server's certificate will not be checked for validity. This will make your HTTPS connections insecure.

--kubeconfig=""
Path to the kubeconfig file to use for CLI requests.

--log-backtrace-at=:0
when logging hits line file:N, emit a stack trace

--log-dir=""
If non-empty, write log files in this directory

--log-flush-frequency=5s
Maximum number of seconds between log flushes

--logtostderr=true
log to standard error instead of files

--match-server-version=false
Require server version to match client version

--namespace=""
If present, the namespace scope for this CLI request.

--password=""
Password for basic authentication to the API server.

-s, --server=""
The address and port of the Kubernetes API server

--stderrthreshold=2
logs at or above this threshold go to stderr

--token=""
Bearer token for authentication to the API server.

--user=""
The name of the kubeconfig user to use

--username=""
Username for basic authentication to the API server.

-v, --v=0
log level for V logs

--vmodule=
comma-separated list of pattern=N settings for file-filtered logging
